A Quintessentially English Weekend with Subtle Mediterranean Soul
Nestled within the rolling Sussex countryside, Becca and Harry’s August wedding at their family home in Kirdford blended quintessential English charm with subtle Mediterranean elegance. With a lakeside sailcloth marquee, bespoke design details crafted by the bride herself, and a weekend filled with unforgettable guest experiences, this celebration was the perfect fusion of style, personality, and joyful energy — a true showcase of what a luxury private estate wedding can be.
Nicole & Murray’s At Home Marquee Wedding at Home
Nicole and Murray’s September wedding was the perfect example of how magical an at-home marquee celebration can be. After a heartfelt ceremony at Murray’s family church in West Horsley, guests were welcomed to the family home for a day that blended heartfelt details, bold design, and unforgettable experiences. From a Spanish-inspired champagne reception to a bespoke marquee filled with vibrant florals and a lively evening party, every moment reflected the couple’s love of travel, family, and celebration.
The True Cost of a Luxury Marquee Wedding
Over the last few years, I’ve seen a rise in enquiries for marquee weddings at home, often spanning multiple days, with couples inspired by the beautiful images they see online. I completely understand why marquee weddings are so appealing as they’re the ultimate blank canvas, allowing you to create a celebration that feels deeply personal, set in the most meaningful of locations.
But one of the most common misconceptions I encounter is around budget. More recently, I’ve had enquiries with budgets of £20,000–£80,000 for multi-day marquee weddings with over 100 guests, floral-heavy designs, beautiful structures, and a high level of catering. And here’s the honest truth: it simply isn’t achievable.
